The Daily PollPoll: Should people who share nude or sexual content of their exes online be jailed?
England, Wales and Scotland all have plans underway to deal with the issue.
“REVENGE PORN” – when an ex-partner shares nude or sexual photos and videos of an ex online – is set to become an illegal offence in the UK, carrying a jail term of up to two years.
Legislation
While the Law Reform Commission is examining legislation surrounding offences committed via the internet, which includes ‘revenge porn’ , there are no immediate plans to follow in the footsteps of England, Wales and Scotland.
